Introduction to Safety Interlock Raycus’ product is designed with a safe interlocking loop, which is a two-channel system with output monitoring and manual reset. When the safety interlocking circuit is open, the safety circuit will disconnect the working power of the optical module, that is, the main power supply of the optical module.
Wuhan Raycus Fiber Laser Technologies Co., Ltd. turned on at this time. When one of the channels is open, the laser main power supply is impossible to start until the other channel is open, and then the two channels are closed before the laser main power supply can be started.
